A natural channel, Kazinga Channel is home to the world's largest population of hippopotamuses. This 32 km (20 mi) long strip of water attracts elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and buffalos, and it connects Lake Gorge and Lake Edward in Queen Elizabeth Natural Park. Take a boat tour along the channel to get close to these large animals. Over 60 species of birds and monitor lizards are also part of the scenery. While here, you can also visit a fishing village to observe native fishing activity.
